Day 3: It's back to the classroom for me!

The last time I stepped into a lesson was a few (cough) years ago. Today lessons started at 8am and finished at 2.20pm - and these lessons flew by. We just got into the swing and drrrrring time to go to the next 1!
So here's how part of my day looked. Each lesson was 30minutes long approx.

Tasks

- To discuss the topic the teacher gave you and then use the camera and video on the mobiles in your group discussion. One person to ask the question and the other answer, then change over.
- Show the discussions on the interactive whiteboard (flip)

Interviewing each other to see if they understand what they’ve just read. They will then ask the same questions tomorrow to see if using a different method helps them to remember what they’ve been taught.
